HALTOM CITY (CBSNewsTexas) - A Tarrant County jury found Lyneisha McCuin, 30, guilty of murder in connection to a 2018 road rage shooting.
The victim, Claudia Sanchez, 33, was fatally shot in the head. Haltom City police found her wounded on Aug. 25, 2018 sitting in the passenger seat of a white Fiat. Sanchez was treated at the scene and then rushed to John Peter Smith Hospital in Fort Worth. But she died from her injuries the next day.

According to witnesses, the driver of the Fiat threw a metal object, possibly a lug nut, at the SUV wherein McCuin was a passenger in. McCuin then fired a round into the Fiat, police said.
